Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!

I am writing to provide you with course scheduling advice for the upcoming Winter session and Spring semester of 2009. As always, you should check with your advisor each semester to confirm that your course selection is in line with your particular program. This course advisory contains sections for M.Ed. Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.

===Courses for M.Ed. Students===

All M.Ed. students are required to take 3 credits of the following courses; both are being offered in Spring 2009, and EDUC 607 is being offered in Winter 2009:

In the Winter of 2009, the following ed tech elective is being offered:

EDUC 639 ePortfolio Web Design

If you have taken all of these courses, and you are looking to take another ed tech elective, you may enroll in one of the following EDUC 885 courses. These are "repeating topics" courses that are designed in such a way that they can be taken either at the master's and/or at the doctoral levels. A detailed description of these courses is found at http://www.udel.edu/fth/courses/. The course numbers being offered in the Spring of 2009 are:

The Doctor of Education program is in transition. Some of you are enrolled in the old program documented at http://www.udel.edu/fth/edd, while others are in the new program described at http://www.udel.edu/education/edd/cthe/. With written permission from your advisor, you are permitted to take courses from either the old and/or the new program. The total number of credits required is the same for both programs, i.e., 54 credits.

===From the Old Ed.D. Program===

All Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 860 (Curriculum: Research, Theory, and Development) or EDUC 897 (Curriculum Inquiry). In the Spring of 2009, both EDUC 860 and EDUC 897 are being offered.

Similarly, all Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 665, Elementary Statistics or EDUC 856, Introduction to Statistical Inference. Both of these courses are being offered in the Spring of 2009.

Once again, if you are a doctoral student and you need advice regarding whether to take courses from the old or new program, please consult with your advisor, who has the power to give you permission to make course substitutions as our School transitions to the new CT&HE program.

In the meantime, I hope you will all pass your final exams and projects with flying colors and then enjoy a pleasant holiday season. Cheers, Fred
